Chapter 421: Battle of the Scepter
There is no doubt that those passages with all the doors open were the ones that Ying Huanhuan and Mu Lingshan had already explored. It was a pity that neither of them closed the doors, otherwise they could have bought more time.

However, if they really did so, it would probably lower their reputation. After all, this time was different from the ancient tomb, and everyone knew that the first person to come in was Lin Changqiang's man.

While Lin Changqiang was thinking wildly, he flew towards the direction leading to the main hall. The three men had agreed before that this road would be left to him.

Before flying into the passage, figures rushed into the Thunder Palace one after another, breaking the silence. They glanced around excitedly, then flew out quickly and rushed towards the passages with closed doors.

Others looked at the direction where Lin Changqiang disappeared and chased after him without thinking too much. Even Pang Hao and Liu Xiangxuan were no exception. They all felt that the most precious things should be in the main hall, and they also had some confidence in their own abilities.

The silver-blue figure rushed past one gate after another without stopping at all. A key is required to enter the Thunder Realm, but not the main hall.

After a few minutes, a tall stone staircase appeared in front of him. At the end of the staircase, a silver hall stood majestically. It was obviously the destination of his trip - the main hall of Thunder Palace!
Lin Changqiang tapped his toes lightly, jumped over the stone stairs and landed in the hall.

The hall is very large and looks grand and majestic. People standing in it seem to be a few sizes smaller.

There are hundreds of huge stone pillars in the hall. On top of the stone pillars are suspended bright balls of light like thunder balls. In the balls of light, the outlines of various objects can be vaguely seen. Lin Changqiang scanned them one by one and found that they were all powerful spiritual treasures and martial arts. Even the number of lower-grade pure Yuan treasures has reached an astonishing ten!
But these are not the most eye-catching. The most eye-catching is a magnificent stone statue deep in the hall.

The stone statue is a hundred feet tall, sitting upright on a throne. His face is majestic, his eyes are as bright as silver stars, and the battle robe behind him is also majestic. He looks like an emperor who personally leads his troops to war and wins every battle.

There is no doubt that this is the Thunder Emperor whom Zuo Fei admired so much. Just a stone statue of him has such a powerful aura. I wonder how majestic and awe-inspiring he was in the past.

Lin Changqiang turned his gaze to the stone statue's right hand, where a silver scepter was overflowing with brilliant lightning. The thunder, which should have been violent and swift, was quietly rippling on its surface like a trickle of water.

Unlike the stone statue, the power emanating from the scepter was no weaker than his Five Thunder Drums!
[Name: Thunder Emperor Scepter]

[Rank: Top-grade pure treasure]

[Effect ①: Contains a portion of the power of the Thunder Ancestral Talisman, which can greatly enhance the power of the elemental force and greatly improve the effect of thunder attribute moves]

[Effect 2: Inscribed with the formation - Nine Dragons Returning to the Origin, infusing the scepter with energy can activate the Lightning Shield, Thunder Dragon Locking Heaven Staff and Thunder Emperor Seal at will]

Compared to the comprehensive Five Thunder Drum and the Heaven-Sealing Formation that focuses on blockade and suppression, the Thunder Emperor's Scepter obviously puts all its points into combat, and its built-in skills are two offensive and one defensive. Unlike the Five Thunder Drum, it does not have the built-in repair, energy conversion, and light-speed escape.

But facing such a powerful top-grade pure Yuan treasure, Lin Changqiang did not take it immediately, but flew to the lower-grade pure Yuan treasures in various places. When he put away the seventh piece, a large sound of breaking wind came from behind him. Lin Changqiang glanced and saw people from Jiuyoumen, Xuantian Temple and some people whose names he could not tell rushed over.

When these people arrived at the hall, they naturally discovered the hundreds of light balls on the top of the stone pillars. Their gazes immediately became hot, but at the same time, they also felt the overwhelming and unstoppable momentum in the depths of the hall.

Unlike objects that were sealed in the ball of light and could not be directly detected, the Thunder Emperor's Scepter did not conceal its power at all, and it spread across the entire hall in such a mighty manner.

Pure Yuan treasure! At least a medium-grade pure Yuan treasure, or even a top-grade one!
In just a moment, everyone's eyes became hot, and their hearts were filled with surprise and desire. Several figures flew out as swift as arrows. Pang Hao and Liu Xiangxuan also gave orders immediately, and rushed straight to the scepter with the strong men of Jiuyou Gate and Xuantian Palace.

They did wonder why Lin Changqiang didn't go and grab the Chunyuan treasure since he was the first to arrive, but this thought was quickly suppressed by desire.

Perhaps, Lin Changqiang felt that he was alone and weak and could not compete with so many people?
In addition to the majority who rushed towards the Thunder Emperor's Scepter, there were also a few people who changed their minds and quickly scrambled for the surrounding light balls. Seeing this, Lin Changqiang also hurriedly increased his speed.

The hall suddenly became chaotic, with figures shuttling back and forth. Those who first rushed towards the Thunder Emperor's scepter were almost touching the stone statue, but two terrifying waves coming from behind forced them to avoid them. Immediately, two balls of thick deathly aura exploded, covering the entire stone statue.

They are the Death Profound Realm from Jiuyou Sect and Xuantian Palace. Apart from Lin Changqiang, they are the only two people here who are above the Life Profound Realm!
Looking at the stone statue that turned into ashes in the blink of an eye and the silver scepter that began to fall, the faces of the few people who were forced to dodge were extremely ugly. It was not until now that they understood why Jiuyoumen and Xuantian Temple only summoned people from Shengxuan Realm...

After joining forces to force the others away, the Death Realm of Jiuyou Sect and Xuantian Palace also had a dispute and immediately fought each other. The rest of the people, including Pang Hao and Liu Xiangxuan, were not in a position to come into contact with the death energy. Just as both sides were on the verge of swords being drawn and their minds were racing, the fallen Thunder Emperor's Scepter stopped before touching the ground.

boom!
Thunder suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the deafening explosion instantly resounded throughout the hall, shocking people.

Suddenly, a huge flash of lightning burst out from the scepter, like a silver sun emitting a thousand-foot-high light. The incomparable power of thunder exploded, sweeping away the dense deathly aura around them. The two people who were fighting and approaching the scepter were also directly blown away. They retreated dozens of meters away before they could stabilize their bodies, but the side facing the scepter was already charred and bloody...

The horrifying noise attracted everyone's attention, except Lin Changqiang, who was delighted and took the opportunity to speed up the collection of the light balls.

Under the gazes of many people, the silver scepter trembled violently in the air, as if it was awakened from its deep sleep and was throwing a tantrum.

The next moment, the scepter transformed into a huge thunder that soared like an angry dragon, and rushed towards the people around it madly. Some people were terrified and wanted to avoid it, while some people were overjoyed and tried to capture it, but without exception, they were blown away by the rampaging thunder dragon, and the shrill wailing was heard for a while.

Seeing this sudden change, the whole hall instantly fell into chaos. Strong energy burst out, but in the end they were all severely damaged by the thunder dragon. It was not until more and more people were injured that people finally realized that this scepter seemed to avoid all light balls?
